COMMENTS

a(n) is the permanent of the n X n matrix with 1's on the diagonal and 2's elsewhere. - Yuval Dekel, Nov 01 2003. Compare A157142.

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 13 2009: (Start)

Starting with offset 1 = Lim_{k->inf.} M^k, where M = a tridiagonal matrix

with (1,0,0,0,...) in the main diagonal, (1,3,5,7,...) in the subdiagonal

and (2,4,6,8,...) in the subsubdiagonal. (End)

a(n) is also the number of (n-1)-dimensional facet derangements for the n-dimensional hypercube. [From Elizabeth McMahon, Gary Gordon (mcmahone(AT)lafayette.edu), Jun 29 2009]

a(n) = round(2^n*n!/exp(1/2)) [From Mark van Hoeij (hoeij(AT)math.fsu.edu), Jul 06 2010]

Contribution from Groux Roland Jan 17 201: (Start)

a(n)=(1/(2*sqrt(exp(1))))*int(exp(-x/2)*x^n,x=-1..infinity)

sum(1/(k!*2^(k+1)*(n+k+1),k=0..infinity)=(-1)^n*[a(n)*sqrt(exp(1))-2^n*n!] (End)

a(n)={2^n*n!/exp(1/2)}, x >= 0 and {x} is the nearest integer function. Simon Plouffe, March 1993.
